Here is my (updated) contribution for this week's TOMT and 2nd Time Around (my first ever!). I can't wait to see what everyone came up with! Thanks Tam and Diane for hosting... These are so fun for me to do!
My darling second generation petunias!
Don't you just love them? I do! I know they are called annuals, but I keep them watered throughout the year, and trimmed during the winter, and they come back like I just bought them from a garden center! They are easy to grow, fun to look at, and very inexpensive to boot!
These are my fuschia with white rims...
Here are the Candy Striped ones... (I filled in the pot with some purple ones for July)
And my favorite color of petunias, purple!!! I can't get enough of this color, so regal!
As always, thank you for peeking! I've been so jealous of all the wonderful garden entries on all these photo memes that I thought I needed to get going and do one of my own!
Before I forget...
TABLESCAPING IDEA: (I just love how "Brain" and I collaborate to bring you wonderful yet simple ideas to "pretty up" your tables!) In incorporating your garden, put a table in your garden and design your table with a dominant color present in your flowers. For example, if it's white, do an all green table using different shades, (tablecloth, runner, utensils, goblets) with white dishes and napkins to mimic your garden. Use natural things for placemats or chargers and napkin rings or ties. For a centerpiece, have a shallow basket and fill it with white flowers tied with a white sheer ribbon for a romantic touch and have a menu of white food- cakes, eggs, vanilla milkshakes, anything that has a very light color to it to accent your tablescape while also featuring your food. This way, your table resembles a fantasy table made just for the garden by its resident fairy! A true dining escape...
Oh yeah, while cruising another awesome blog, I stumbled upon one of the awards she was sharing, so here's one you can snap up for your own blog!
Bye for now...
